Jake Stratton-Kent et al (eds): AT THE CROSSROADS
1st 2012 195pp Scarlet Imprint. Illustrated including colour. French black and white cloth with blood red blocking depicting the mystery of the crossroads, embossed vermillion endpapers. Near fine.
Ltd. ed. 354/800. A rare early Scarlet Imprint title which has not been reprinted or issued in paperback.
At the Crossroads tells the stories of what happens when the Western Magical Tradition encounters the African Diaspora and Traditional Religions, and vice versa. We find the grimoires of Old Europe flourishing in the New World, Juju spreading through the United States, the Cunning Men of Essex rendering service to the Loa of Haitian Voudon, Alchemists who are Paleros, the techniques of the Greek Magical Papyri applied to conjure counter hexing.
Traditions as diverse as Ifa, Palo Mayombe, Solomonic Magic, Espiritismo Cruzado, Greek Necromancy, Santeria, Cunning Craft, Alchemy, Haitian Voudou, American Vodou, Voudon Gnosis and Quimbanda are represented in essays, artworks and visions, criss-crossing more than two hundred inspiring and thought provoking pages.
Essays from Jake Stratton-Kent, Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold, Michael Cecchetelli, Peter Grey and others.
